While the focus may currently be on his ranking as the 8th highest earning DJ in Electronic Dance Music, American club force more intimately known as Ryan Raddon can boast of a numerous landmark moments for 2012 that exceed financial speculation. Joined by Axtone approved Russian outfit Swanky Tunes and the angelic voice of Toronto songstress Lights, Kaskade extends his melodic legacy with the ironically titled ‘No One Knows Who We Are.’

Providing the perfect middle-ground between the Russian trio’s tough Electro beats and Raddon’s knack for uplifting melodies, this collaborative effort builds upon two more commonly detatched hallmarks in a bid to unify the adrenaline of Electro House with the divine vocal moments that Raddon’s Kaskade moniker has grown to master.

As far as whacky Electro House is concerned, Dada Life could hardly be rivalled on today’s bill. But with their latest single still sitting comfortably in Beatport’s top 10, the Swedish Dada Land ambassadors and masters of the fuzz follow up ‘Feed The Dada’ with the long-anticipated release of their remix of Kaskade’s ‘Llove’.

Taking an unexpected turn from their grinding signature sound, the duo ditch Kaskade’s piano-laden instrumental for a mixture of fist-pumping highs and soothing lows. Packing a vital punch of thick drums and jangling overtones, Olle and Stefan match the divine voice of Haley with heavy-stepping beat work and invigorating energy throughout.

Few have clutched the heartstrings of melodic Dance music like Ryan Raddon. Now representing the club hysteria with his Kaskade moniker, the LA leg of his “Freaks of Nature” tour is broadcasting live from the Staples Centre on both Fuse and YouTube exactly one year after his LA block party was shut down by police. Having scaled the globe on the wings of his seventh studio album ‘Fire & Ice’ throughout 2012, this American pit stop coincides with the release of Raddon’s next single ‘Stars Troll’ alongside Swedish newcomers Qulinez. Despite competing against the hysteria of Belgium’s Tomorrowland, Kaskade presents a worthy excuse to stay in this Friday and experience his live spectacle in spirit.

With the summer festival season once again underway across the globe, leading American Dance music festival Electronic Daisy Carnival will once again be streamed online courtesy of Sirius XM Electric Area for those unable to make the journey to the infamous stateside city of bright lights and momentous club culture. Having kicked off last month with a blazing two-day event at New York’s MetLife Stadium, the bumper three-day event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will summon some 300,000 to sample the globes finest Electronic exports across seven stages. With a host of the action being covered throughout the event’s dusk-till-dawn sittings, EDC looks certain to retain it’s stamina as the biggest live Dance music venture to ever touch down on American soil.

Insomniac Events cancelled day two around 1 AM Las Vegas time as high-winds posed as a possible threat to fan safety.

Following on from the successful first episode and with a further launch of their own label on the way, Swanky Tunes release the second episode of their monthly podcast – “Showland.” Mixing unreleased gems like Tommy Trash’s remix of Deadmau5 and Chris James ‘The Veldt‘ and their own forthcoming release on Wall alongside Hard Rock Sofa, entitled ‘The Edge‘, with such Beatport top 10 tunes as Alesso’s take on ‘Silenced By The Night‘, the Russian trio’s latest one hour mix showcases a solid blend of sing-along vocals and heavyset beats.

Following in the footsteps of Tiësto, Ryan Raddon, better known as Kaskade, joins the show for this month’s guest mix to deliver a quite diverse four track selection that includes John Dahlback’s ‘Feel It’, Thomas Gold’s latest release on Axtone and more.

Hailed by the New York Times and a horde of global admirers as the renaissance man of American Progressive House, Ryan Raddon has made the transition from best-kept secret to club wise ambassador to the stateside revolution with impeccable force. But handed the reigns at one of his country’s most sought after festivals to date, Kaskade’s ultimate melodic charm certainly stole some hearts at this year’s Coachella Festival.

Stepping up to the mark for the Sahara Tent, Raddon’s masterful mash-ups were balanced with a heavy injection of his own emotively tuned studio gems. Making room for more recent endeavours alongside Skrillex for ‘Lick It’ as well as Gregori Klosman’s remix of ‘Room For Happiness‘, a further exclusive play of Dada Life’s forthcoming remix for ‘Llove’ ticked all the boxes for this landmark festival appearance. While the universal Dance explosion may have come with its critics, Kaskade proves that amid his accession to the big time, the quality and consistency of his live experience has suffered no fatal casualties.

Fresh off the mark from his impressive Spinnin endeavour ‘Leo’, Parisian House perfectionist Norman Doray looks set to increase his lead amid the global House explosion with a highly-anticipated remix for Kaskade and Skrillex. Extending his own Big Room antics to the groove-led canvas of the stunning original, Doray brings a positive force to the equation but fails to touch on the same groundbreaking realms as his American peers. But laced in emotive lead work and consistent energy from the outset, his hard-hitting flare of positive club beats is still a satisfying mark amid the ascent that will see him frequent Las Vegas and add yet more high-profile festival spots and releases for the remainder of a year already rife with his universally acclaimed talent.

Following the January release of ‘Acid As 303‘ alongside fellow partner in crime Manuel De La Mare, Italy’s Alex Kenji joins Norman Doray on the remix duties for Kaskade and Skrillex’s much talked about ‘Lick It’. Preserving the original’s ever so catchy sound, Kenji adds an array of dynamic and well-oiled tech beats for something closer to an edit rather than actually keeping things remix-y.

Accumulating a dignified arsenal of club-worthy moment makers across his vast studio legacy, Ryan Raddon has proven himself an all-American triumph. Now synonymous with emotional Progressive House anthems and finely tuned vocal spots, 2011’s ‘Fire and Ice’ marked the fierce producer’s most thorough collection of gems to date. On the other side of the world, Melbourne newcomers Aden Forte and Josh Soon have been making similar swells of positivity for their respective scene off the back of their Axtone debut alongside Ivan Gough ‘In My Mind’, setting aside any feats that the Aussie scene was starting to lull against the force of their European peers.

In a tip to the popular highlight of ‘Fire and Ice’, Feenixpawl don their tactful studio etiquette to further prove the strong grasp now associated with this rising duo. Embracing the resonance of the originals melodic keys alongside Skylar Grey’s divine vocal stylings, the summit of this worthy remodel comes with a forceful blast of diverse energy that separates this promising Aussie stronghold from the crowd with the utmost success. Despite the cult following now boasted by Kaskade’s global legacy, this unoffensive remix is sure to prove as satisfying to the ears of long-time aficionados and newly inaugurated fans of his landmark full-length offering.

Adding to a host of remixes for the likes of David Guetta, Lady Gaga, Avicii and Erick Morillo among others, a fierce take on the recently voted “America’s Best DJ” and Skylar Grey is certainly no mediocre start of the new year. With vocals from the arguably most intriguing songstress of electronic music to date alongside a well-oiled instrumental from the dexterous hands of Kaskade at his mercy, the rapidly ascending Gregori Klosman gives the original of ‘Room For Happiness’ a dash of joyful break-down chords and an enthralling electro-house progression to further validate Klosman’s firm grasp on melodic club-bangers.
